It is entirely unclear how this will end. However, the bizarre notion, which I have seen written, that Trump will handle this correctly because he was successful in producing "The Apprentice" is, well, bizarre.

As for North Korean President Kim Jung-un, the idea that madmen like him act in a way that will not put their country and their reign at risk ignores what Saddam Hussein did in Iraq and, for that matter, what the Japanese did at Pearl Harbor.
